"Collibra Governance's most valuable features are data lineage and stewardships."
"The most valuable feature is the discovery process for the data catalog because we get it in a visual format as a way to understand and classify it."
"Collibra Governance comes with a lot of features, and we have used it in one of our projects for metadata management and data lineage."

"The most valuable features of Collibra are the workflows and the data lineage capabilities."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Governance are that it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The best thing about Informatica Axon is that it integrates with the Electronic Data Capture and the Axon system."
"Some of Axon's valuable features include creating your business glossaries, importing DQ rules, and creating change management."
"The solution is stable."
"The features that I have found most valuable are, first of all, that it comes as part of this whole bundle of Informatica tools. So if you've been implementing Informatica MDM across a business, you'd often find it comes with it. It's been thrown in as a sweetener. The adoption of it is often the challenge because as part of your MDM project, governance is seen as something beyond the MDM and is often restrictive. So this tool actually, for the first time, when you talk to data governance teams, gives a holistic view of what a data governance team can do with this tool."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Axon is features, interfaces, and data mapping. It represents clusters nicely."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to select the data flow and lineage."
"When we are doing discovery for unstructured data sources, I would suggest a quality report of the data that would indicate what was unable to process."
"If someone changes the metadata, we can't see who changed it."
"I would like to see a feature using the runtime dashboard."
"There's still room for improvement in Collibra Governance. Right now, the solution focuses more on publishing and subscription where metadata is being consumed from all systems and processes within Collibra Governance. I'd like to see more features around external systems that let those systems start consuming or start referring things from Collibra Governance automatically, in particular, more API-based integrations, so the solution can truly work as an enterprise governance tool at the heart of the organization. There have been many cases where business stakeholders feel, "Okay. I'll be doing a manual activity because every time I have to maintain and make sure that the solution is working, for example, ensuring the reporting works, I have to go to Collibra Governance." I want this step taken out of the equation, and it has to be an automatic conversion or automatic notification that something has changed. Scalability also needs improvement in the solution. If there could be some sort of self-service where people can customize the solution a bit more, that would make Collibra Governance better. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is an enhanced search feature because it's what users want to use. You want to search for a term and get all details in one go. Right now, if you type a term in the Collibra Governance global search function, it returns a lot of results that you need to know how to filter and what to filter, so there should be automatic filters that give accurate information to somebody who does a search on the solution. I want Collibra Governance to provide a capability where you can search and get relevant information."
"The solution's metadata management is pretty novice and could be improved."
"Sometimes, if a client needs a specific customization, we cannot do it directly. The client needs to reach out to Collibra and request the customization."
"There are a lot of gaps in Collibra's support and documentation."
"While connecting with the data source, it's not very easy. If there's a firewall, it is difficult to connect with the database. It's not easy when you are configuring on the database."
"It would be great if the cloud version could match the full range of capabilities available on-premise."
"The solution still is a bit manual in its functionality. We want t to be more automation-driven."
"I would like to see more API integration to have the capability to build a report using other third party reporting tools to streamline the operation."
"The main issue probably has nothing to do with end users, but installation can definitely be simplified."
"The GUI needs to be a little more user-friendly and appealing."
"I would like to have the solution in one product and technical support needs to be better."
"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."
"They could improve technical support because it is not good enough at the moment."
